surfacing spring help - 05/09/17 06:02 PM
i have a spring that surfaces in my yard.
I have dug french drain/pvc drainage ditches to get rid of the water that had been accruing in my back yard for years
I cleaned up the spring area and put in some river rock and sand to make it more decorative instead of the overgrown craphole it used to be.
i still have some wet spots in my lawn, i suspect a few more underground springs, but I am not sure what type of expert I should bring in to consult for help to see if i can make any improvements
I am at the end of my know how, it used to be way worse, anytime i brought a contractor back there to see if they had any ideas, they would disappear on me. One guy even left his measuring wheel behind and never came back to collect it, i left multiple messages, even claiming i wouldn't mention the swamp when he came back to collect it. I eventually gave it away to my neighbor.
anyway,
what type of person should i be looking for to help me, hydrologist, landscaper, rocket scientist? any advice would be helpful
also, I added a picture of the spring area, we used to get frogs, any idea if they will return now that all the overgrown vegetation is gone?
